opposite for me. They had 3 kids and neither parent had stable jobs for +1 year at any time so they had TWO MORE KIDS. Would have gotten out of the industry waaaaaay sooner myself. Instead of attempting after layoff #3 in a 1 1/2 year span. Parenthood is sacrifice. If that means you can't work your "dream job", which…

I hate victim blaming but sometimes you have to be smart in this world. IF you work in a volatile work of video game design you don't have 5 kids, you just don't. If you do, you better have a great backup plan.

Look having kids is fine. But after the husbands like 5th layoff, you continue to have MORE kids and then cry foul? The layoffs weren't their fault, by the predicament was. If they had stayed steady at 2 or 3 kids their lives would have been much easier and sustaining all these layoffs would have been much easier to…

Relatively speaking, the part is better. And, yes, sometimes layoffs are necessary.

Of course it exists. I'm not saying you can never lay anyone off, but you don't have to treat them like criminals or sucker punch them at a "party".

The Sky Crawlers, Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain, Mushishi, the Time of Eve and Kino's Journey, just on the top of my head, are examples of the classy and compelling storytelling that you are talking about.

You haven't seen enough anime to make that judgement, then. There's plenty of masterpieces out there if you have the patience to look for them.

If you want a more complete Ghost in the shell i suggest Stand Alone Complex and SAC: 2nd GIG. The movie is amazing and timeless but the 2 seasons of the series are incredible.

Because they have been doing it their entire lives. Most non-African distance running monsters grow up wearing athletic shoes, and the feet and legs get used to this. By transitioning to these god-awful hideous shoes, you are shocking your system and working it in a manner totally contrary to what you've been doing…

This is such a dumbass move. I know PBR is cheap but it is so fucking terrible. Why can't they make the wontons with Stella or something else that's just a couple price points up? The burger looks delicious aside from the swill they're serving with it. GODDAMNIT PHILLY DO BETTER.

I'm normally pretty big on things marketed to hipsters, but none of that (other than the cheese and the chicken) sounds edible. I'm also pretty fastidious in my eating (ashamed if any part of my burrito requires a fork) so warm gross beer explosion sounds terrible. I might be sold if it was Natty Boh, though...

I guess making Superman a deadbeat dad was supposed to appeal to female audiences?

and

The animated series, especially the first five or six, are waay waay better than the live action...whateverthehe!!... that celluloid disaster ... was.

I'm amazed that no one in the comments has pointed this out yet (2 whole months later), but the "crotch tassel" girl in "Mudd's Women" is Susan Denberg, Playboy's Miss August 1966. She later appeared in Hammer Horror's "Frankenstein Created Woman," where she gets carted around by, and then later resurrected by (with…

Came for the Space Hippies. Was not disappointed!

And thus, Matt Groening was inspired to create Akbar and Jeff.
